Chute Control
If the chute does not rotate fully or its pitch cannot be
moved up or down, the four chute control cables will
have to be adjusted. Once a season or every 25 hours
of operation, whichever is earlier, check whether the
cables have slackened.
To adjust these cables, proceed as follows:
1.
To tighten cable, loosen the top nut and tighten the
bottom nut on the cable.
2.
Adjust equally on both sides by working on both
cables of each pair. See Figure 27.
